Effects of vasoactive drugs on hepatic and intestinal circulation and intestinal barrier in patients with septic shock.

In this study, 60 patients with septic shock were selected over the course of 1 year, and the effects of dopamine and norepinephrine combined with dobutamine on hepatic and intestinal circulation and intestinal barrier in patients with septic shock were studied by comparison between the control group and the experimental group. All patients received mechanical ventilation to maintain breathing at 14 to 20 times/min. The experimental group was treated with vascular active drugs after adequate rehydration, and the control group only received adequate rehydration.

Contributions of PARP-1 rs1136410 C>T polymorphism to the development of cancer.

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is a nuclear chromatin-associated enzyme involved in the DNA damage response. SNP rs1136410 C>T, the most studied polymorphism in PARP-1 gene, is highly implicated in the susceptibility of cancer. However, the roles of PARP-1 rs1136410 C>T on cancer risk vary from different studies.

rs11549465 C>T polymorphism contributes to increased cancer susceptibility: Evidence from 49 studies.

HIF-1 (hypoxia-inducible factor-1) is a transcriptional factor that participates in the regulation of oxygen homeostasis. Despites numbers of case-control studies working on this area, the actual relationship of gene generic variant rs11549465 C>T imposing on cancer susceptibility remains unveiled. To get a better understanding of such relationship, this meta-analysis was carried out by incorporating all eligible case-control studies.

miR‑146a‑5p suppresses ATP‑binding cassette subfamily G member 1 dysregulation in patients with refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae via interleukin 1 receptor‑associated kinase 1 downregulation.

In the present study, we examined the function of microRNA (miR)‑146a‑5p in patients with refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia. In brief, the expression of miR‑146a‑5p was reduced in patients with refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia. Downregulation of miR‑146a‑5p reduced inflammation in an in vitro model of refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia, whilst overexpression of miR‑146a‑5p promoted inflammation.
